Hi all: tomorrow Paul Duggan ~ dir. EU TechShop ~ is discussing the European Makers Culture at the Jugaad Innovation event at Nyenrode: http://dutchjugaad.nl/masterclass/. I have free tickets available for members of this group. PLS let me know via [masked] when you want to join. Salut!

I-Fabrica comes to town! 1500 mtrs work &maker space with all the tools and machinery you have ever dreamed of, well at least in some of your dreams: CNC lasers & plasma cutters, routers, mills, welders, lathes, saws, you name it, for metal, wood and plastics. We also have machines and tools for textile works, electronics, prototyping and large 3D printers. I-Fabrica offers courses and workshops in a friendly environment that enables you to experience, to learn, to create and to realize your project. I-Fabrica will be open for men and women; from inventors, entrepreneurs and zzp`ers, to people with no experience, no space and no tools but with a great idea. I-Fabrica is for individuals and groups, for rich and poor, for new and old stuff, i.e for the Amsterdam Maker Community in a Amsterdam tradition! You will find us next spring in the former STORK factory, project “De Overkant” on the IJ waterfront. We need your help and are open for your ideas to make this YOUR succes. Shoot!

Erwblo. It wiill be a huge achievement if indeed it will be this spring. Techshop themselves need 6 months to do it and they have done it many times. Johan Schuilenburg claimed the domain name i-fabrica.nl on the day of the meetup. He is also a member of the meetup. Based on these facts I think it his plan. Hope he will share more.

Great kickoff. We need more of these kind of super high end communities in Holland. Felt like MoMoAMS kickoff in June 2007. Great speakers and fantastic audience. Many insights. Good vibe, passionate people with intrinsic motivation across the board.

Ik heb Chris Anderson de volgende vraag gesteld:" Do you think some cities are better equiped to become Maker Capitals? Will we have maker cities like we have tech start-up cities? Brooklyn is big in artisan food.. Do you see cities that will also take a specific role?﻿"
